THE GUERNSEY BREED 



Spotswood Daisy Pearl 17696 A. R. 790 yearly record, 18,602.8 pounds milk, 

 957.38 pounds fat. 



As the records of the last year's competition were made 

 under practically the same rules as those adopted, such of 

 those cows as had passed the advanced registry requirements 

 were admitted and appear as cows Nos. 1 to 10. The advanced 

 registry records now completed are a great credit to the breed, 

 and the popularity which the breed has achieved because of 

 these tests redounds to the credit of The American Guernsey 

 Cattle Club who thus originated the Advanced Register sys- 

 tem based on yearly butter-fat records. 



Experience proves that a serious omission was made in 

 drawing up the rules, in not requiring that a cow must drop 

 a calf within 15 months of the time she started her record, 

 if she started as a fresh cow. 



Since the Advanced Register has developed so rapidly 

 and the high records of the leaders of each class are con- 

 stantly being exceeded, and since the American Guernsey 

 Cattle Club publishes at frequent intervals not -only Hie new 

 records made from time to time but also complete lists of all 

 of those made up to date, it is unnecessary to include the list
